Nope - I'm waiting to hear back from them as well
Ditto. Same goes for U Rochester (in response to a previous post).
UConn
I got an email from my POI Monday evening asking a question about my essay/future interest, but haven't heard anything since.

Was it a mass email?
Sorry, no not JJ- city grad center, didn't seem to be a mass email
thank you! and congrats. I'm wondering if I should hold out hope of getting and email from city...
No, I'm also waiting to hear from CUNY - Queens College. Hopefully their invites just haven't been sent out yet!
I just finished my first phone interview with the University of Utah, but haven't heard from any of the other schools I applied to (rejection or invite). Anyone know if these schools have sent out their invites yet?
Clinical:
Auburn
Boston U
Toledo (I've seen one person on grad cafe say they got an interview... anyone know if they've all been sent out?)
Counseling:
North Texas
Texas A&M
Thanks and good luck to everyone who applied!

Follow-up: I got a reply from my POI asking if we can talk on the phone in the next few days. I think it's sort of a pre-interview? If anyone has done something like this with UConn please message me!
I was wondering the same thing, but I applied to City College. I did hear that CUNY will continue to send out interviews for the next few weeks, and interviews will go on through Feb. but I can not say for sure if it only pertains to City College, or all of the Clinical Psych programs...
Do you happen to know if they have already notified everyone for phone pre-interviews or if it was just your POI? I've been anxiously hoping for an email from mine!
I'm not 100% certain and the only correspondence I've had is with my POI, from what it sounds like the POIs are contacting their applicants for phone interviews and then they will decide who they will invite for on-campus visits.
I finished my phone interview as well. My POI said the AdCom was meeting next Tuesday to go over all the candidates they've talked to and then choose the invites from there. Good luck to all!

Do you know if all POI's contacted applicants on 1/9 or if they have a range of days where they could contact applicants?
Received an email from my POI inviting me for an interview on February 6th at UWM. This is for the School Psychology PhD program.
Sort of frustrating that UWM and Madison don't have their interviews closer together- but I hope the travel costs will be worth it!

I've noticed a lot of posts start with this sentence (and mine will be no different🙂)...
I noticed on gradcafe that someone received an email from Drexel regarding a pre-interview phone call with the lab. I applied to their clinical program and the entry doesn't specify Clinical Psychology (just says Psychology).
Has anyone here heard from the clinical program at Drexel or have any information that will put me out of my misery?

I saw a couple of posts on gradcafe about people getting interviews for Temple today. I applied there too and am wondering who they were contacted by and whatnot. I'm hoping it was by the POIs and that some more invites will be going out soon. They said interviews are happening the end of January.
two questions:
anyone hear from urbana champaign?
also, is it safe to say that those of us who haven't heard back from FSU yet aren't getting in? lol (i see some people got an interview offer as early as 12/20...but i still haven't heard anything and haven't seen that many posts about it!)
thank you all!

Also waiting on Drexel and haven't heard anything back for Clinical. I think we're safe for now...
My guess is it's a range. I saw someone on GradCafe had been contacted at the beginning of the month for a phone interview, and I got an e-mail from my POI nearly a week later, so they may still be contacting people. Hang in there!
Whew! I guess I can go back to my normal amount of anxiety, haha!
For those of you waiting on the following schools, I'm right there with you:
Yale Univ
Drexel Univ
CUNY @ John Jay
Fordham Univ
Rutgers Univ
St. Johns Univ
George Mason Univ
Long Island Univ
If you hear anything from any of them, please post & ill do the same! Glad to know at least losing my mind is relatively normal. Cant wait until this is over so I can have a decent's night sleep!

Any recommendations for what a female should wear when a program tells you to dress comfortably (it's an all day thing) and recommends business casual attire? I was thinking a professional looking dress and a blazer could work?
I feel like most people will still be in suits but I might be wrong...
I know it seems trivial, but any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!! 🙂

I was talking with my PI about this a while back too. Definitely go business casual if that's recommended. A dress with a blazer sounds good to me, as long as you think you look professional in it. It's harder for females, I think - there are still so many assumptions made about our intellect and abilities just based on how we look. I'm sure there's an old-school professor or two out there who thinks that if a female is wearing a skirt she's not going to be taken seriously. But again, it definitely depends on the skirt - if a female in your department would wear it, it sounds fine. And for comfort, just make sure you can spend all day in your heels, since I'm sure there will be a lot of walking around campus.
There is a ginormous thread on interview questions - make sure to check it out. Though best not to read too deep into it; us psychology folks tend to be a bit neurotic.

Thank you so much for your advice. And thanks to Samoo too! I will check out the other thread. I really appreciate it.

Waiting too. Have not heard anything yet either. Their experimental program however has sent out interview offers/invitations.
Anyone else waiting on Loyola Maryland PsyD? I saw that a few folks had heard on gradcafe...
